i cant post pics yet so please bear with me, i have a bit of a problem. my battery light is on whenever the car is running, but it’s extremly dim, like less than half of the brightness of what the open door light is. Also, the middle orange light is lit up on the check lights area under the fuel gauge. anyone know what this could be? thanks ---

what is the battery voltage when the car is off to when its on? Get a volt meter and find out. ---

the car voltage is steady at 12.1 when the car is not running, and around 13.9 - 14.1 when its running ---

looks like a jdm cluster, theres 1 bulb that always lights up if u put a jdm cluster into a cdn s13, just pull that bulb out. my friend has this same situation. and he’s far to lazy to pull the cluster out so were hoping it burns out. ---
